Good experience. There is some confusion on who I to provide a receipt for the stay(hotel or Expedia). I still don’t have a receipt.

I didn’t stay here. I’m sure it’s very nice, but I don’t know what this about. I stayed with my travel group.

I’ve stayed at Pikes for years as needed for work travel. Highest expectations and clean rooms. Friendly and helpful staff, good food to top it off. Pikes is clearly focused on customer satisfaction.

Owner-mgr found a good suite. Some confusion in correspondence which was Expedia’s fault, according to the owner. Old place, needs work in bath especially. Rather expensive for the condition. But, it worked well for us.

Great location. Home cooked breakfast every morning. Comfortable bed. Hostest was great. Very knowledgeable about Alaska. We would highly recommend this lodge.

A/C not working in the large king room. Maintenance man worked for 2 hours before we were moved to a 2 Queen smaller room which was not as nice or clean. Not real happy about the inconvenience and no offer to compensate for the inconvenience. The staff were helpful and maintenance man was very apologetic. Probably would not stay there again.

Stay: Late-May, 2026 This place was fantastic! Perfect for what we were doing--a quick one-night stay in Talkeetna, and then on to Denali NP. This little cottage is every bit as quaint and charming as shown in the Expedia listing. The place is about 2.5 hours to Denali, so it's a great mid-stopping place to take in a great area. It's clean, well-appointed, aesthetically pleasing, and yet very utilitarian. If you're a couple just looking to "chill" for two or three days before you hit Denali NP hard--do it here. You won't be sorry. Take a nap, do some reading, binge a favorite show, take an incredibly beautiful hike, walk or stroll, rent a bike, work on your photography skills, whatever. Then head into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner and take in some great Alaskan culture. I'd do this place again without hesitation.
